Lippage Removal

Lippage is the difference in height between tiles. Often times when a floor is not laid down properly, or over the course of time, tiles are shifted to different heights, causing a lot of problems for restoring and maintaining your floor.

Trying to maintain or restore floors with a lot of lippage can cause damage to the equipment used or the tiles themselves. To avoid such damages, it is recommened to take down, or remove, lippage, creating a uniform height between all tiles. This makes all restoration and maintenance safer and more effective.

Lippage removal is very similar to Apeiron's 2-step restoration process or traditional restoration. Before starting either restoration method, use Apeiron's Hybrid Diamond Disks to hone at a lower grit than is required for floors without lippage. These unique disks provide extra abrasion and smooth scratch-patterns due to the special material out of which they are made.

Step 1 - Lippage Removal with Hybrid Diamond Disks

1) Thoroughly strip the floor to remove surface coating.
2) Hone the surface with Apeiron's Hybrid Diamond Disks and water.
Start with 30 grit hybrid disks.
Honing process times:
1 minute per square foot or until lippage is thoroughly removed or lowered.
3) Wet vacuum to remove the slurry residue. Damp mop rinse with Apeiron's Stone Wash and vacuum again.
4) Continue to move upwards through the grits up to and including 100 or 200 grit for comprehensive lippage removal.
